And now and then an echo started up,And shuddering fled from room to room, and diedOf fright in far apartments.
Then the voiceOf Ida sounded, issuing ordinance:And me they bore up the broad stairs and thro'The long-laid galleries past a hundred doorsTo one deep chamber shut from sound, and dueTo languid limbs and sickness; left me in it;And others otherwhere they laid; and allThat afternoon a sound arose of hoofAnd chariot, many a maiden passing homeTill happier times; but some were left of thoseHeld sagest, and the great lords out and in,From those two hosts that lay beside the walls,Walk'd at their will, and everything was changed.
